Digital M-Speed
Digital MSpeed allows an incoming DMX value to be used to specify a control time value.
In the motion system, using MSpeed to control mirror position will produce smoother moves due to the update frequency
of the DMX stream is much lower as compared to the internal motion control system. The much higher refresh rate will
allow the motors to run in a smoother mode.
The graphics system can also use MSpeed to produce smoother moves in the virtual space, this technique allows content
layers to travel through the XYZ space without no visible 'steps' that could be seen by using a purely DMX method of
describing layer position.
In Addition, the Use of Mspeed allows all targeted layers to reach their targeted positions at the same time even though
they have they may have a different distance to move.
MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds.
The table below lists the MSpeed (motor) movement times and their corresponding DMX controller values.
•
If you have a numeric-type DMX controller, use the Value Decimal (dec.) column.
•
If you have a fader-type DMX controller, use the Value Percentage (%) column.
•
If your DMX controller allows you to program hex values, use the Value (hex) column.
